One of SGSC's missions is to promote continuing strength and fitness throughout the whole of life. We believe that maintaining your physical condition enables you to maintain the maximum possibilities for yourself, both in the physical and mental arenas. We haven't any idea about what Dorothy Custer does in the way of keeping strong by going to a gym or anything like that, but we can tell you one thing, even if she does nothing she has certainly maintained her adventurous frame of mind.

Following our report on Dr Michael Merzenich's work on brain plasticity - the process of the brain whereby it builds neural pathways as a response to learning - there is news from the University of Edinburgh that exercise helps to protect the brain against age-related changes.

The Ironman World Championships took place as usual in Kailua-Kona, Hawai'i on October 13th. For those who don't know, Ironman is an extreme version of Triathlon, in which competitors complete a 2.4 mile ocean swim, a 112 mile bike ride and a 26.2 mile (marathon distance) run.

On this site we generally concentrate on physical training to, on the one hand, continue to pursue the extreme and adventure sports and activities that we love for far longer in our lives than perhaps previously imagined and, on the other hand, enjoy the benefits that the results of such training bring us in our lives outside the actual sports. Well, in fact such training is not limited to the physical sphere according to Dr Michael Merzenich, co-founder and Chief Scientific Officer of Posit Science.
